Abstract
In its kinetic and thermodynamic behaviour, the nematic phase glass has a striking resemblance to amorphous polymers, rigid molecular glasses and orientationally disordered crystals, suggesting that the molecular mechanism of relaxations is less dependent upon the complexity of molecules or state of their aggregation than is generally believed.Keywords
